Section 503 of BNS, 2023 defines criminal intimidation as threatening another with injury to person, reputation, property, or to person/reputation of one in whom that person is interested, with intent to cause alarm or to cause acts/omissions. Statement 1 is correct—injury includes harm to body, reputation, or property. Statement 2 is correct—intent and communication are required. Statement 3 is incorrect—threatening injury to a family member (person in whom victim is interested) clearly falls within Section 503. Statement 4 is correct—the threat must be such that a reasonable person would apprehend harm. The answer is A (Statements 1, 2, and 4).
